I think he just takes advantage of opportunities (ex: running on fastbreak, loose balls etc..) Basically the things we need him to do right now. His offensive game is still way too limited. The only real advantage I think he has when playing with Calderon is on the fast break. Other than that, he can't really set himself up to be directly involved in plays.

i don't disagree with your evaluation necessarily of each player but that first unit will have a lot of trouble scoring and that second unit might be the worst defensively in the history (at the moment) of the NBA

but hopefully we can use his expiring, if not at least we unloaded Novak's deal...

Why would they have such a hard time scoring? lowry, anderson and ross can all drive and shoot, Amir and Davis are great at the pick and roll. I actually don't like Amir in the starting lineup but Raptors have no one else who can really start, Valuncunias is not good enough to start. As for the bench, Yea they would be poor at defense but it`s better for them to play against backups than starters (all of those guys started previously). Also, just because they are on the bench doesn`t mean they`d all be out at one time.

I'm not being a Bargs fanboy but I do think when he gets back his game will improve, he is defiantly hearing all the trade, amnesty talk. So hopefully a strong finish into the season going into the offseason he might have some trade value, he would still be overpaid but 2 years at 10 million isn't real bad for a team looking for some offence.

I kinda agree ppl threw him under the bus so quick for underperforming, but Casey didn`t get him involved in the offense at all. He just made derozan the go to guy, even though Bargnani is 100 times better.

This is a good point. It wouldn't be that difficult to raise his value. Obviously he has to put in the effort, but even last year his trade value was pretty decent. To my knowledge we were offered a top five pick during the draft for him. If he put up a short run like that by the end of the year, we should be in a pretty good position in the offseason with looking at trades.
